Jaymie Payne is passionate about talent acquistion and has nine years of experience in corporate and healthcare recruitment.
"I have been in healthcare for several years and have worked in clinics and GP offices, so I have experience managing paper file medical records and files on EMR systems. I have experience creating files, properly maintaining and storing them, following policies and procedures for sharing medical records and destroying them, and organizing them for day-to-day use when seeing patients. Proper medical records management is vital to ensuring patients receive the appropriate care. I'm very familiar with the Data Protection Act and adhere to all policies and procedures like the "need to know basis" to protect patient privacy."

The interviewer would like to learn more about your skills and abilities to manage medical records, whether that's test results, creating new patient files, or obtaining records from another GP. Discuss your experience with managing paper medical records and electronic medical records and speak to ways you ensure accuracy and privacy when managing files. If you have experience using EMR software, now is a great time to give an overview of the systems you have used in the workplace.
